What does it mean to “diversify” your portfolio?

Business
1 answer:
Darya [45]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C. Spreading risk by investing your money in a variety of funds and investment options.

Explanation:

To “diversify” a portfolio is to invest in a variety of assets as opposed to focusing on one type of asset. To diversify is to invest in different classes of assets to minimize the risks associated with investing.

Diversification minimizes risk by spreading it in the different classes of assets. Should returns from one class of assets be unfavorable, the losses incurred will be neutralized by positive returns from the other assets.

Based on the PPC given, the points given would represent the following:

  • Point B = Efficient use of resources.
  • Point X = Impossible use of resources.
  • Point A = Underutilized resources.

<h3>What do points on the PPC represent/</h3>

Points on the curve represent the efficient usage of resources because they show that all available resources are being used. Points B, C, and D are therefore all efficient.

Point X is impossible because all points outside of the PPC are not attainable due to a lack of resources. Point A shows that the available resources are not being fully utilized.

Options to describe the points:

  • Efficient use of resources
  • Under utilized resources
  • Economic growth
  • Trade-off
  • Opportunity cost

Luden [163]

Answer:

  • Straight-line method: $36,667 yearly depreciation expense for 3 years.
  • Unit-of-production method: Year 1 - $47,850, Year 2 -  $40,590, Year 3 - $21,560
  • Double-declining method: Year 1 - $77,737, Year 2 -  $25,910, Year 3 - $6,353

Total for 3 years is $110,000 for all the depreciation methods.

Explanation:

(A) Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / Estimated useful life = ($116,600 - $6,600) / 3 years = $36,667 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $36,667 x 3 years is $110,000.

(B) The unit-of-production method is used when the asset value closely relates to the units of output it is able to produce. It is expressed with the formula below:

(Original Cost - Salvage value) / Estimated production capacity x Units/year

At Year 1, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 8,700 hours = $47,850

At Year 2, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 7,380 hours = $40,590

At Year 3, depreciation expense (DE) is: ($116,600 - $6,600) / 20,000 operating hours x 3,920 hours = $21,560

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $47,850 +$40,590 + $21,560 = $110,000.

Note that this depreciation method results in higher depreciation charge when the asset is heavily used, at this time, it was in Year 1.

(C) The double-declining method is otherwise known as the reducing balance method and is given by the formula below:

Double declining method = 2 X SLDP X BV

SLDP = straight-line depreciation percentage

BV = Book value

SLDP is 100%/3 years = 33.33%, then 33.33% multiplied by 2 to give 66.67% or 2/3

At Year 1, 66.67% X $116,600 = $77,737

At Year 2, 66.67% X $38,863 ($116,600 -  $77,737) = $25,910

At Year 3, 66.67% X $12,953 ($38,863 -  $25,910) = $8,636. This depreciation will decrease the book value of the asset below its salvage value $12,953 - $8,636 = $4,317 < $6,600. Depreciation will only be allowed up to the point where the book value = salvage value. Consequently the depreciation for Year 3 will be $6,353.

Accumulated depreciation for 3 years is $77,737 + $25,910 + $6,353 = $110,000.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

B) 1.7

Explanation:

GDP deflator simply shows the occurring event of the level of prices in the economy which is why It is often the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP.

GDP deflator in 2009 will be:

Norminal GDP

Cost of apple= $1 in 2009

Apple produced =5 in 2009

Cost of oranges= $1.50 in 2009.

Orange produce= 5 in 2009

$1.00*(5)+$1.50*(5)

=5+7.5

=$12.50

Real GDP

Cost of apple= $0.50 in 2002

Apple produced =5 in 2002

Cost of oranges= $1 in 2002

Orange produce= 5 in 2002

0.50*(5)+$1.00*(5)

=2.5+5

=$7.50

GDP deflator = Nominal GDP/Real GDP)

=$12.50/$7.50

=1.666

approximately 1.7
